Bathing Figure by Sam Harrison for SCAPE Public Art Season 2016.
Christchurch-based Sam Harrison is a leading proponent of contemporary figuration, well known for his observant, emotionally resonant sculptures and woodcuts. Harrison has made a new work for Presence, featuring a female figure whose spine arches across the form of a large river boulder, her arm shielding her eyes. The pose might refer to the feeling of warming your body after a swim in the river, or may be read as representing a more charged state of anguish or lament. Scenes of bathers populate much art history most notably in works by Cezanne, Matisse and Picasso. Bathing scenes allow for the scrutiny and depiction of the figure in a variety of poses. Whilst these historic painters’ enquiries had more to do with the architecture of the picture plane, Harrison shares a fascination with the form of the figure under tension. The artwork will be located within Market Square at the Arts Centre, off Worcester Boulevard.

This is just to the east of Route 66. The heights are up on a high hill and look down on the downtown area. The view from up there is amazing. The photo depicts part of the Ridgecrest area. It's one of the wealthier areas in the city.

Description:
"All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up" - pablo picasso
This project for a family coastal residence is located on a stunning site in eastern Victoria. The design is an investigation of how an idealised conception of "house" is transformed by its context and use. The site has extraordinary qualities: harsh prevailing winds of the roaring forties; sloping site; and sublime panoramic views from cape liptrap to wilson's promontory. The residence required maximum flexibility as a beach home that could accommodate varying sleeping needs - anything from a single guest to burgeoning family summer holidays.
The sectional character of the design adopts an idealised child-like profile of a gabled house as a point of departure. However this reading of the architecture is subverted by a reorientation of the plan. The house twists to accommodate framed views and take advantage of the natural fall of the site, with two wings capturing significant views of the landscape to the east and west. These arms of the building are mediated by an ambiguous space that operates as provisional gallery, entry, veranda, storage, dining, lounging and circulation zone. This contested space engages more directly with the landscape and environment and accommodates shifting patterns of use.
Outdoor portrait of Widget the former feral cat. I don't see him too often except when he escapes his home - which has been more frequently lately since he learned how to open the door.
Widget is very bright. He's also well-loved and lucky to be no longer a feral. He has a good home. But he gets bored sometimes and wants to explore the world. He has engineered another escape...

(On the outside chance that you haven't read it yet...Flickr staff have announced that soon Explore will be ended, due to escalating controversy about the way it has been subverted by a few 'cheating' groups. There will be something to replace it, but it sounds like a much more random thing...perhaps a bit like 'interestingness without the 'top 500 ranking algorithm'. To me, this means that there will no longer be an motivation to 'fave' a photo merely to increase it's likelihood of being 'explored'. Henceforth -- or as soon as Flickr makes the change -- the ONLY point in declaring a photo to be a favorite will be because it IS a favorite.)
I love this stamp, but never used it. So I decided to pull it out for the masculine challenege. I coloured it with colouring pencils in˙more `masculine colours` and used light brown for the BG. tfl
